Should be further in front

Viney misses a sitter, but we goal off the deck by Salem. Melb 34 - Carlton 8

I'm confident Jeffy will play round 1 but we've shown in the past that we don't take in players underdone Take Brayshaw for example last year

MELBOURNE1. Jesse Hogan, 2. Nathan Jones, 3. Christian Salem, 5. Christian Petracca, 6. Jordan Lewis, 7. Jack Viney, 9. Jack Trengove, 10. Angus Brayshaw, 11. Max Gawn, 13. Clayton Oliver, 14. Michael Hibberd, 15. Billy Stretch, 18. Jake Melksham, 20. Colin Garland, 22. Aaron vandenberg, 23. Bernie Vince, 24. Jay Kennedy-Harris, 25. Tom McDonald, 26. Sam Weideman, 28. Oscar McDonald, 29. Jayden Hunt, 30. Alex Neal-Bullen, 32. Tomas Bugg, 33. Jake Spencer, 37. Dion Johnstone, 43. James Harmes, 44. Joel Smith Watts out again I think Jeffy pulled up with a sore hammy. He had it bandaged at family day

1 – Jack Silvagni 3 – Marc Murphy 4 – Bryce Gibbs 6 – Kade Simpson 7 – Dylan Buckley 8 – Matthew Kreuzer 10 – Harry McKay 11 – Sam Kerridge 13 – Jed Lamb 15 – Sam Docherty 16 – Billie Smedts 17 – Sam Rowe 20 – Lachie Plowman 22 – Caleb Marchbank 23 – Jacob Weitering 24 – Rhys Palmer 25 – Zac Fisher 27 – Dennis Armfield 28 – David Cuningham 29 – Cameron Polson 30 – Charlie Curnow 33 – Jarrod Pickett 35 – Edward Curnow 37 – Daniel Gorringe 39 – Dale Thomas 41 – Levi Casboult 42 – Kym Lebois 43 – Simon White 46 – Matthew Wright BOLD = New Blues

I asked Kent how the back was tracking. He said he was still about a month away. I asked if he thought he'd be available for round 1. He said he was hopeful but he didn't sound convinced at all

Going to get my jumper signed

Weidemans positioning is elite

WWWWEEEEEEEIIIIDDDDD

Agh Brayshaw spills a mark he should've taken on the siren in bad news Bulldogs' Roughead looks like he's hurt his knee

No Watts, Hibberd, Hannan, Jetta, Pedo, Tyson, Kent, T. Smith

That's awesome

http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/news/2017-02-16/bob-back-for-jlt-opener Dogs have released their team. Suckling, Bont, Wallis, Redpath, Wood the notable absentees

I've honestly heard very little of him. I just want to trial guys like him in JTL. NOT overly fussed on winning

Isn't it his back?

How do you know?

Someone please fill me in - Did Joel Smith play in the intraclub? If so how did he go?

I'll be attending the first preseason game against the doggies next week. Then we'll be able to see who the real improvers are

Hopefully we don't rush Kent and Tyson back for JTL. Still give them a run but I'd really like to see how guys like Johnstone, Weed, Hannan, JKH and Smith go

I love Viney as much as anyone but he's too young. We should've waited another 1-3 years when Jones is ready to hand the baton over

Half ends 3:40 early due to thunder

Skills are as good as an under 10s game/ Melbourne men's 2013

What happened to Kent

Haven't been around for too long to see Flower, Schwartz etc. so... 1 - Jurrah 2- Robertson 3- Davey 4 - Jamar 5 - Hogan 6 - Petracca 7- Howe (only for the speckies) 8 - Bruce 9 - J.McDonald 10- Neitz

Apparently Pedo has come back in poor shape and is struggling. Weid is still too skinny. I really like Tim Smith's chances to play early in the year
